Welcome to the NOMAD-measurements Plugin Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for the NOMAD-measurements Plugin! This plugin is designed to provide structured data schemas for storing experimental measurement data in alignment with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles. It serves as a community or standard plugin, offering commonly used schemas and classes/sections for measurement data that can be shared across a community.

Supported Measurement Techniques

Currently, this plugin supports the following measurement techniques:

  • X-ray Diffraction (XRD):

  • Supports both 1D and 2D scan data

  • Supports file formats from:
    • Panalytical: *.xrdml
    • Bruker: *.brml
    • Rigaku: *.rasx

Additional measurement techniques are actively being developed and will be included soon, including:

  • UV-Vis-NIR Transmission (Perkin Elmer)
  • Raman Spectroscopy
  • X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

Stay tuned for updates as more methods become available!
